A warm greeting to this wonderful community. In Hive Open Mic #317, we explored the theme: “Celebrating My Mom.” I'm pleased to share my trumpet rendition of “Pussywillows Cattails,” a song that blends genres like soft pop and folk-pop, composed by Gordon Lightfoot. He drew inspiration from his childhood experiences in a natural setting of rivers, fields, and tranquil landscapes. One of my favorite versions is Kenny Rankin's, which incorporates smooth jazz influences. The lyrics are poetic and filled with imagery and feelings such as nature, the passage of time, nostalgia, memories, love, and shared moments. This piece is written in the key of G major, but I play it in A major. The melody is intimate, reflective, and sounds like a memory. The time signature is 3/4, with a slow but steady tempo.

Un cordial saludo para esta bella comunidad. En el Hive Open Mic #317, exploramos el tema: “Celebrating My Mom”. Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «Pussywillows Cattails», una canción que mezcla géneros como el Soft pop y folk-pop compuesta por Gordon Lightfoot. Él se inspiró en las vivencias de su infancia, en un entorno natural con ríos, campos y paisajes tranquilos. Una de mis versiones favoritas es la de Kenny Rankin, que incorpora influencias de jazz suave. La letra es poética y está lleno de imágenes y sensaciones como la naturaleza, el paso del tiempo, la nostalgia, los recuerdos, el amor y los momentos compartidos. Esta pieza esta escrita en la tonalidad de G mayor, en mi caso la interpreto en A mayor. La melodía es intima, reflexiva y suena como un recuerdo. La cifra indicadora de compas de ¾ con un tempo lento pero estable.

This weekend we celebrate our mothers on their day. Although a single day can't repay all they do for us, it's a way to remember them and ensure they are not forgotten. They are co-creators with God, giving life, teaching, and raising children. I feel great love for my mother; she is always full of heavenly gestures. Without a doubt, a mother's love is the closest thing to a mother's love. My mother is a pillar in our home; she is not only the manager but also the one responsible for raising us with values, faith, and love. Even though we are adults, she continues to be a light in our lives. She is an example of service, sacrifice, and dedication. More than a commercial holiday, it is a day to express gratitude, love, and service. We must also not forget our ancestors and the women who have positively influenced us. I hope you enjoy my interpretation. Blessings to your mothers.

Este fin de semana celebramos a nuestras madres en su día. Aunque un solo día no podría compensar todo lo que ellas hacen por nosotros, es una manera de hacer memoria de ellas y de que no sean olvidadas. Ellas son cocreadoras con Dios al dar vida, enseñar y formar a los hijos. Siento gran amor por mi madre, ella siempre esta llena de detalles celestiales. Sin duda, el amor de una madre es el mas cercano al amor de una madre. Mi madre es un pilar en el hogar, ella no solo es administradora, también es la encargada de educarnos en valores, fe y amor. Incluso aunque ya somos adultos ella sigue siendo una luz en nuestras vidas. Ella es un ejemplo de servicio, sacrificio y dedicación. Mas que un día comercial es un día para expresar gratitud, amor y servicio. También no debemos olvidar a nuestras antepasadas y a las mujeres que han influido positivamente. Espero disfruten de mi interpretación. Bendiciones a sus madres.

Pussywillows Cattails

Pussywillows cattails soft wind and roses
Rainpools in the woodland water to my knees
Shivering quivering the warm breath of spring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses

Catbirds and cornfields daydreams together
Riding on the roadside the dust gets in your eyes
Reveling disheveling the summer night can bring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses

Slanted rays and colored days stark blue horizons
Naked limbs and wheat bins hazy afternoons
Voicing rejoicing the wine cups to bring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses

Hars nights and candlelights wood fires a-blazin
Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
Treasuring remembering the promise of spring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses
And roses
And the soft winds
